Work practices and challenges in pull-based development: the contributor's perspective

Georgios Gousios, Margaret-Anne D. Storey, Alberto Bacchelli

Abstract

The pull-based development model is an emerging way of contributing to distributed software projects that is gaining enormous popularity within the open source software (OSS) world. Previous work has examined this model by focusing on projects and their owners---we complement it by examining the work practices of project contributors and the challenges they face.
